DeArmey, Larry

1942 - 2020

Pastor Larry A. DeArmey went to be with his heavenly father Wednesday, July 1, 2020, at 6:30 AM. He is survived by his wife and ministry partner of 53 years, Vicki DeArmey (née Shirey); one daughter and four sons, Ginette, Marc (with wife, Abeba), Luc (with wife, Leah), David (with wife, Louise), and Mathieu (with wife, Lis); and seven grandchildren, Amanuela, Temperance, Lucia, Jude, Pierre, Zoe, and Adrielle. Larry and Vicki served for over 37 years as Grace Brethren (now Encompass) missionaries in France and later Spain, planting and growing two churches in Mâcon and Lyon, and working alongside other missionaries in a church plant in Madrid, Spain. As European Missions Coordinator, Larry often traveled to other European countries and the Chad to teach and counsel missionaries serving in those countries. Even after retiring to the United States in 2007, and up to October of 2019, Larry traveled many more times to Moundou, Chad, to teach Chadian pastors and leaders at ESEM (École Supérieure D'Études Missiologique) and to Florida and Haiti, to teach in Haitian-led churches. Many friends, colleagues, and spiritual children in Europe, Chad, and Haiti are mourning the loss of Larry alongside his family, friends, and colleagues here in the United States. An open memorial service will be held on Monday, July 6, at 2PM at Grace Polaris, 8225 Worthington Galena Rd, Westerville, OH, 43081. A private family viewing will be held prior to the service. In lieu of flowers, we'd ask that you donate to one of the projects dear to Larry's heart.
